CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 290

A technician needs to install a Type 1 hypervisor on a server. The technician needs to maximize the drive space available on the best performing drives for guest systems. The server has SD card slots, a SAS controller, and a SATA controller, and it is attached to a NAS. On which of the following drive types should the technician install the hypervisor?

Answer options

• A. SD card
• B. NAS drive
• C. SATA drive
• D. SAS drive

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, SAS drive, because SAS drives are known for their high performance and reliability, making them ideal for hypervisor installations that require quick data access for virtual machines. In contrast, SD cards (A) typically offer lower performance, NAS drives (B) depend on network speed, and SATA drives (C) generally provide slower performance compared to SAS drives.
